Drop all external SSH access and use a VPN. Lets see the mean old hacker bypass that.

I am trying to do this, but I'm having trouble.
I did this
Code:
ufw allow from 10.0.0.0/24 to any port 22

but it still does not work when I connect from the VPN!!!

I trying to do this but I can't get it working.
I allowed all connections from the 10.8.0.0/24 range, and my openvpn ip address is 10.8.0.6
for some reason I still cant login via ssh oven openvpn until I also allow connections from my the external Ip that the computer is on.

It says that it was connected to the VPN, and the VPn is working on the web browser my Ip address is changed. but for ssh through the terminal it seems to care about my original Ip address.

Its really cool, now somebody can't ping my domain and look at the IP address, then try and tamper with my ssh because they don't like my website. I'll be monitoring the number of ssh brute force attempts and see how much less it is then before.


Key auth or not, an attacker is much more likely to attack your web server than your SSH daemon.


Attackers also scan for vulnerable web or ssh services more than they find a website they don't like and then attack.
